And it's all NSFW.  If you're happy with that, then click  here .  If it gets taken down I've taken the precaution of saving the text, so let me know and I'll put it all up.  Pun intended.

Since Al Gore created the Internet, I can only assume that he is directly involved and is thus, obessed with my junk.

It would boot into Vista, and let you launch 1 program, then lock up.    It worked in safe mode, so I did a restore back to June 8th and disabled everything using msconfig.  That didn't fix it.  I had to wipe out the hard drive and reinstall the OS.  I've lost everything.  It sucks to be me right now.

I wanted to transfer some video tapes to DVD (I have a DVR too).    I popped a tape in and hit play and the VCR promptly started eating the tape.  I tested a few other tapes and same thing.    So, is this VCR screwed?  Are the heads out of alignment or just need a cleaning (I can't find the head cleaner and I'm pretty sure I had one). Is it even the heads?

I thought of a neat new idea for a thread. I know alot of you own hand-held devices like tablet`s, iPhone`s, Blackberry`s and even Sony PSP`s like the one I started this thread with. Well, I thought it would be fun to have a thread that you could only post in with your hand-held device. So, here it is. Hopefully everyone who participates will enjoy this idea and please stick to the rules.  1) Only post in here with your hand-held device.  2) No using add-on keyboards.

If you're interested in seeing my super awesome town, go to 1074 Massachusetts Street, Lawrence KS and venture North. The East side of the street is where all the head shops and local hippie clothing and art and local food and things like that are. The West side of the street is where larger corporations are (like the buckle, for example).   This was done during the summer of last year.

I haven't limited myself to just Macs though as I have owned PC's and have also dabbled a bit with certain Linux flavors.
